“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

The "Right" to Evolve

This really has to do with the right of things to be inconsistent, namely, to exist. Thanks Cliff Gerrish.

Actually if you keep going along these lines, you fairly shortly arrive at the right of unconscious thoughts and processes to remain unconscious. The right of dreams and hallucinations not to be reduced to a single interpretation. And so on.

This is because this piece in Scientific American is now thinking of granting the right of an algorithm to execute.
